If there is any meaningful sense in which we can ask who is the greatest of all time, the answer can not simply be given by crudely adding up slams
has won his 23rd grand slam tennis tournament , many people are saying Djokovic is the greatest of all time. But many of these people also feel a certain reluctance in saying this. Federer seems at least as great.Suppose a tennis player comes along who is 10 feet tall. Every serve is an ace. He never loses a service game. He wins 30 grand slams. Is he the GOAT ? No. The idea is ridiculous.
So, let’s do that. Since 2019, Djokovic has won eight slams. But during this time, Federer was too old and injured to play his best, and the competition was generally pretty weak. It is not that these eight slams don’t count. But they are worth less. You might say Djokovic has a winning head-to-head record against Federer. But this is irrelevant, since they peaked at different times. Federer was in his prime from 2004 to 2009. Djokovic peaked from 2011 to 2016.
